"Miss Nell Littlefoot and her Bellanca aircraft 'SORI Lady' at the end of the Eastern Island runway, just after completing her long-distance flight (Chicago to Spontoon Island) in 1931. Her navigator was in later pictures, when they were able to wake him up.

"Nell is overcome with awe, admiring her award from the Standard of Rhode Island company, the "Oil Over The Waves" Oil Dispenser Trophy. Her mood became more cheerful when she found out the 2-gallon oil can base was stuffed full of 20-dollar gold certificates.

"This version of her autographed photo was only used for a short time."

Staff of the 'Resort Denhaut' co-operative on Spontoon Island in the 1930s. The job notations show their lead responsiblities, but since the number of staff is so small, they have a routine of stepping in to assist as needed. As an example, 2 or 3 of the other staff may help the chef and server at meals, if needed. Guests may find themselves helping, too! A guest who wishes to act as a part of this resort family might be surprised to find how open they can be.

Constance still enjoys her French citizenship but is a Spontoon resident. Sororiti is Scandinavian Spontoonie, fostered by a Polynesian cultured family. Jiataji-Ni is a member of one of the South Island Polynesian culture fox clans.

Halola-ti is a Spontoonie from a family on Casino Island, and enjoys how laid-back South Island can be. During busy times, more workers may be called from the local villages.
